+# Cross-build dependencies for Windows x86-64 and Windows ARM64
+
+## Requirements
+
+Please use llvm-mingw compiler which can be downloaded here:
+
+    https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases
+
+You will also need to install CMake 3.20 or newer to compile Qt libraries. Simplest way to do this is to use python repositories:
+
+    sudo apt install python3-pip
+    pip3 install cmake
+
+Unpack compiler binaries to suitable directory (/opt is preferred) and ensure that its /bin subdirectory is mentioned in your PATH. You will also need to add /home/user/.local/bin to PATH as well.
+
+## Setting up
+
+   Every subdirectory contains a setup.sh script which can be used to download source code and create source trees.
+
+## Building
+
+   Just execute ./build.sh script for corresponding dependency using either x86_64 or aarch64 as argument. It will build binaries automatically.
